Re: More on Svargam and Naragam

Dear JS

Your posting on swarg & narag is excellent and I appreciate your high
analytical approach on punya & papa issues which are daunting our mind from
time incessant.  Many thanks for your clarifications.

I have one doubt.

Why do elders bless the younger ones for 'Deerghayush' (i.e. 100/120 years).
Though we wish our  progeny to live long, is it to shed our karma in this
birth itself by living as long as possible.  The more you live the more
accumulation of punya/papam. Is n't it?  Then why should we live that long
at all?

Sorry for this childish question.

Adiyen
